Abstract

The present invention is a composition comprising a plant sterol and a soy protein material and / or and isoflavone selected from genistein, daidzein, glycitein, biochanin A, formononetin, and their naturally occurring glycosides, where the plant sterol comprises at least 0.49% of the composition, by weight. The present invention is also a method for decreasing the blood concentration of total and LDL cholesterol in a human in which a plant sterol and a soy protein material and / or an isoflavone are co-administered to the human, where the plant sterol comprises at least 0.49%, by weight, of the combined weight of the plant sterol and the soy protein material and / or the isoflavone. The present invention is also a method for preventing or minimizing the development of atherosclerosis in a human in which a plant sterol and a soy protein material and / or an isoflavone are co-administered to the human, where the plant sterol comprises at least 0.49%, by weight, of the combined weight of the plant sterol and the soy protein material and / or the isoflavone.
